T-2/HT-2 Testing Solutions

HT-2 toxin and T-2 toxin are both potent fungal toxins that affect crops under conditions of high humidity and temperatures of 6-24°C.

These toxins are known to cause dermal necrosis, bloody diarrhea and affect production (weight gain, eggs, milk). Both toxins are formed by Fusarium species and mainly affect corn, wheat, barley, oats, rice and rye. T-2/HT-2 are frequently found under poor storage conditions.

Countries have established regulations to protect consumers from the harmful effects of T-2/HT-2 toxin intake. The European Union has established guidance levels for food and feed whereas China has established allowable levels of T-2 toxin in feed.

ELISA Tests

AgraQuant® T2/HT-2 test kits are accurate and reliable enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) in a quantitative format. Together with a StatFax® or BioTek® ELISA reader, results can be directlyinterpreted and continuously documented.

These ELISA test kits are the ideal solution for a parallel measurement of multiple samples with incubation times of as low as 15 minutes for up to 42 samples.

Test kits are in a ready-to-use format to reduce handling errors and come with a set of 5 standards, an antibody coated plate, a dilution plate, a conjugate, a substrate and a stop solution.

Cleanup Columns

T-2/HT-2 columns range from simple one-step cleanup with MycoSep® and MultiSep® technology to immunoaffinity cleanup. These cleanup columns, some of which part of AOAC and CEN methods, ensure fast and reliable purification of your samples.

MycoSep® & MultiSep®

Cleanup Columns

MycoSep® and MultiSep® columns contain packing materials made of adsorbent mixes specially designed for all food and feed commodities, for a fast cleanup within 30 seconds.

Cleanup Columns

Romer Labs MycoSpin® 400 multi-mycotoxin two-step cleanup column in a spin format was developed to be used for most regulated mycotoxins to shorten the time-consuming cleanup process. Multiple mycotoxins can be analyzed simultaneously by LC-MS/MS.

Immunoaffinity Columns

StarLine™ immunoaffinity columns (IAC) are designed for simple and reliable cleanup prior to T-2/HT-2 detection in a broad range of different commodities. The columns can be used to purify and concentrate the T-2/HT-2 level prior to analysis by various techniques, such as HPLC, GC-MS, LC-MS, ELISA or direct fluorometry.
